Jewel - Boy Needs A Bike Lyrics
Pop works in the shop til eightMom's on the phone and she's kind of irateSally's doing sommersaults on the lawnPop slams open the front screen doorJust to scare momShe says, "what the hell did you do that for?"He washes his dirty hands in the sinkAnd things around the table are kind of roughMom says it's paPa says, "the times are just tough"And me and sally don't say much of nothing at allThe garage door light brightens up the nightPa always works on cars when he gets in a fightAs though he could figure out that woman by working on thatOld carHe said a car can cure any problem at allCause of looking at all them parts makes a fight look so smallBut i wish he'd just put me and sally in the backseat andDrive us awayThat's when he sits me downHe says he's gonna teach me about lifeHe said, "a man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"I got my first taste of freedom beneath the light of the moonBut if it were meI'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and nutsAnd i'd ride away so fast, so farRide away... so fast, so farPut away our toolsWe go back insideMom feels left out and now she's starting to cryI wonder if all girls are crazy this wayI wish pops would just get a spineI said i know it's kind of small but you can borrow mineHe just smiled and said, "your mom means well son"Most times are good it's just some that are leanBut it's love that makes up for those times in beteweenHe got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's handSaid one day i'd understandBut if it were meI'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and nutsAnd i'd ride away so far, so fastRide away so fast so farRide away
